Used to film acclaimed movies and shows such as 1917 and The Mandalorian, the Arri Alexa Mini LF fuses the power of the Alexa LF with the compact, lightweight body of the Alexa Mini. The Mini LF contains the same full-frame sensor as the Alexa LF with all the same recording sizes and formats. It is compatible with both 35mm and full-frame LPL and PL mount lenses. See Technical Specifications below for more details.
